Yeah, I know... I think many people focused on that aspect because they expected the drama to be more like a thriller, when it's more like a melodrama about things like motherhood, sibling rivalry, friendship, etc, with a mystery thrown in. :) "Thriller" is listed as one of the genres so I guess that's why, but I enjoyed it a lot for what it was.

I agree, the more I watched, the more my heart was breaking for LX. His mother should have gotten professional help 20 years ago... but yeah, it was clear from how they were all talking in the last episodes, that if mental health problem is a taboo subject now, it must have been even more so back when LX was a kid and all that happened to his family.

Yes, it was well-balanced... I find that when c-dramas get it right, they really get it right!

I just completed it and I liked it a lot. There is just one thing I don't understand, and that is why some people call it a romcom (it even has "comedy" and "romance" as genres). Sure, there are both sweet and funny moments, but it's not like every episode is hilarious, and the romance part of it isn't the main thing at all. I sometimes found this painful and almost difficult to watch because of the heavy topics and the deep emotional scars some of the characters have to deal with. This drama is full of broken and/or complicated family relationships. And yet it is full of love, warmth and healing! Li Haichao is simply amazing as a father and a person. For me, this drama is just as heartbreaking as it's heartwarming, and the combination makes it very fulfilling to watch. A nice slice of life!

Okay, good to know it gets better. Maybe I'll pick it up again some time, thanks for replying!

Yes, it's a good thing there really are very many different types of dramas for all tastes. :)

I so agree! When I started it, I did not expect anything like that at all. Best sisters-in-law ever! And when is there even "sapphic representation" at all in dramas?! I don't think I've ever seen a drama like this one. (And Seo Hyun really is born to be a queen, I don't think I'll get over her anytime soon!)

She is very beautiful, especially in some angles. <3 Also, it's rare to see a character who *won't say because spoiler* and that is just one of the reasons I hope things won't end badly for her.

He was perfect - once again - in Law School, I really hope he will be in another drama soon! (Main role and romance, please!!!)

No, it's not there, but thank you anyway. As I said, I enjoyed reading your article. It's so nice to read something that is well-written and informative. :)

I watched the first two episodes, and I dislike the main leads. Both are very rude, she has been picking on him three times already for things that are not his fault, and he responds to her behaviour by being cold and argue back. Will they start getting along soon or will the bickering go on? (Yes, I dislike hate to love relationships, and it's my fault for not checking the tags properly before starting it!)

Yes, I looked it up and I'd like to... there is a link to it under "where to watch", but it's not available in my region.

This was very interesting to read. Now I feel like I don't only want to watch those titles you mention, but also see the place in real life. :)

I just wanted to say, you expressed my thoughts too here! I agree with every word. The settings make it one of the most beautiful dramas I have watched, and the couple is one of the best ever. Both of them are impressive on their own and together they are amazing.

Yes, to be able to discuss a drama while watching it adds something to the experience.

Yes, I think there are a lot of people internationally who would find so much enjoyment in many Japanese productions. Yet most things that are available (like on Netflix and Viki) are "anime style" dramas with cartoonish characters. (Like the j-drama I'm currently watching, it's so easy to see it's based on a manga!) I know there is so much more than that.

Maybe I don't know enough Japanese history to appreciate this movie, but I know enough to understand your review. :) It reminds me about the good old days when we watched the same dramas. :)

Thanks!

Thanks! Decent subtitles, or still the automatic translation? :p

Okay, I see. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain! :)

Thanks! How is it possible that she was a descendant of Gwi?

Hi! I didn't watch it all until it was removed. Could you please spoil it for me? Tell me how it ended! I did speedwatch the last episode but I didn't really get it. It seemed like the couple ended up together but I don't know how. :)
